Story behind the song
This song was written as a challenge to put "@0 chickens for a saddle" in either the title, chorus, or both.
Lyrics
This Cowboyas Goin Home Iad been ridina fences Near as long as I recall Chokina on the doggies dust On trail rides every fall Iad had my fill of biscuits And dried out campfire beans I wanted a little house Beside a country stream So I traded in my saddle Six-shooter and my roan My broke in chaps and lariat Everything I owned Found a place so pretty Just outsidaa town Built a little cabin Started plowina ground I got blisters on my calluses-------------------------- Chorus And walkina is a chore And pluckina feathers is a lot More than I bargained for Twenty chickens for a saddle My plow and all I own For a horse an oufit This cowboys goin, home Turnaround 4 bars You wonat hear me complainina About a little dust And when the rain is soakina me I wonat pitch a fuss Iave learned the grass ainat greener It only looks that way So Iam back in the saddle And here Iam gonna stay I got blisters on my calluses-------------------------- Chorus And walkina is a chore And pluckina feathers is a lot More than I bargained for Twenty chickens for a saddle My plow and all I own For a horse an oufit This cowboys goin, home Turnaround 8 bars I got blisters on my calluses-------------------------- Chorus And walkina is a chore And pluckina feathers is a lot More than I bargained for Twenty chickens for a saddle My plow and all I own For a horse an oufit This cowboys goin, home I need a horse an oufit This cowboys goin, home Copyright 2008 John W.
